About Canton Museum of Art
With a collection of over 1,200 pieces of fine art, including both works on paper and ceramics, the Canton Museum of Art would have no trouble filling its 10,000 square-feet of gallery space on its own. Founded as the Little Civic Art Gallery during the days of the Depression and the WPA, the museum has evolved into an impressive collection of American artworks from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. However, the curators aren't interested in keeping things static. They dedicate portions of their museum to national touring exhibits, local artists, and community events. The museum also hosts the School of Art which features more than 20 studio art classes for students of all ages, scheduling sessions three times a year.

(no replies)http://mailartforums.crosses.net/read.php?4,59256,59256#msg-59256On October 2017 Puerto Rico was hit by the fury of Hurricane Maria, one of the most catastrophic and devastating cyclones that have occurred in recent decades in the Caribbean region. Many of our art museums and cultural institutions, as well as our visual and plastic artists suffered damages in their facilities, workshops or artistic productions, leaving cultural activity paralyzed in our art scene.

As a sign of international support for Puerto Rican art in these moments of cultural crisis or uneasiness and with the desire that it again manifests itself quickly in the local and international sphere, the Association of Plastic Artists of Puerto Rico makes this international call for Art Mail / Art Mail under the title "Live the Art" in a brotherly embrace of the creators of the world towards our artistic and cultural expressions.
Demonstrating in this way that no matter the natural or man-made adversities, always the art and culture of the peoples will be manifested and shine for the enjoyment of humanity.

All the consignments will be registered in a blog [vivaelartepr.blogspot.com] that will open for the exhibition that we hope to show on 2018 by different libraries, cultural centers, universities, art galleries or museums of the country according to the availability of the same and prompt restoration of its facilities.

On the 3rd edition of "Lamezia in Ferment" we decided to ask, in an original way, to anyone who likes beer, what it is, why it is a pleasure to drink it, how best to taste, with what it matches, what's the relationship between art and beer, between man and his precious chalice.
There are no rules or restrictions as regards the means of expression to be used:
every item of mail art is shipped to not go back.
We want to collect your mail art, your Beer Tale.
The exhibition will be on 16,17,18 September 2016 in Lamezia Terme at the Garden Lissania, Lissania Street, Lamezia Terme, and then will be published on our fb account: @ ilsantobevitore.3
Then they will be exhibited in fixed place in our spaces.
Deadline: Sept 10th 2016

Mail art is an artistic movement in which artists send small scale works via the mail, i.e. snail mail, postal, or the postal service. Mail art commonly does not have any intrinsic value, is not sold, goes one way, is not returned, and participants receive documentation on the exhibit.

We were motivated by the words “My vision for my country” we decided to use them as the theme for the production of Mail Art. These words are the starting point to imagine, create and reactivate the discussion about places and projects. At the same time, they allow us to combine artistic practicum with our social and political life.
'My vision for my country: a nation where everyone is truly equal, where race isn't an issue, where jobs are created and unemployment is combated. I would love to see all children have access to the best possible education. I would love to see us shift from a nation which only mines to a nation of manufacturers and engineers. I would love to see poverty tackled and the citizens of this land having the tools to become entrepreneurs so that they not only make an income but create employment for others. I would love a government which truly seeks to serve the people and to be open, honest and transparent.' - J.C Maier
